Publisher's Summary

In My Gita, acclaimed mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik demystifies The Bhagavad Gita for the contemporary reader. His unique approach - thematic rather than verse by verse - makes the ancient treatise eminently accessible. 

In a world that seems spellbound by argument over dialogue, vi-vaad over sam-vaad, Devdutt highlights how Krishna nudges Arjuna to understand rather than judge his relationships. This becomes relevant today when we are increasingly indulging and isolating the self (self-improvement, self-actualization, self-realization - even selfies!). We forget that we live in an ecosystem of others, where we can nourish each other with food, love and meaning, even when we fight. 

So let My Gita inform your Gita. 

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Simply Amazing

The way there author has written and paraphrased the Gita is really appreciable. This Audiobook is one the best I have listened to. Really recommend for people interested in mythical stories of Bharat. The narration is really amazing. Learned many things from this book.

It is not Gita from the conventional approach

The audible is not the exact version of Bhagavad-Gita... It is based upon the writers understanding of the Gita. If you want to listen to the original Gita, don't go for this. But nevertheless, it's a good listening.

Too much References to other mythological stories

i would have loved if the book concentrated more on Gita itself than other references

Poor audio quality, poor recording.

Is this your first attempt to understand the BG? if so please skip this one. The writing style is boring, the narrative is even worse and audio quality shows the chalta hai attitude in India. Way to go Audible India, shame on you.

An experience beyond words

An experience beyond words... Divine to say the least 🙏 The content, the narration, the pronunciations of the narrator everything adds to the divinity of the experience...

Dialed down, processed food for thought.

since it deals with some at times heavy philosophy. it's must to go over it again to really understand and learn something out of it.
